"At this point, you still don’t plan to tell?""Even if it’s revealed, it won’t benefit anyone, and it doesn’t conflict with your mission," Lin Jingzhan said:
"The people from Mammon and Anglo probably won’t come again; what’s left is the Kaijie Group."
After a pause, Lin Jingzhan continued:
"We haven’t seen each other for a long time, father and son. Let me give you a gift — Universal Studios."
"You really know how to hide; you even made it to Universal Studios."
It’s considered one of the most popular attractions in Jing City.
It receives many domestic and international tourists every day. If they’re hiding there, it’s hard to be discovered.
"I discovered it by accident. I don’t know more details; go and check it out."
Lin Yi nodded, "What about you, how long do you plan to stay here?"
"I want to leave now, but your mother won’t agree; she wants to stay a few more days and asked me to find her in Zhong Hai."
Lin Jingzhan looked at Lin Yi and asked:
"When will you return?"
"I have to deal with the Kaijie Group first; it might take a week to half a month."
"Alright, once you’re done, your mother will probably look for you."
"Okay."
During the following time, father and son chatted about other matters on the island. In about half an hour, they drank a whole box of beer.
"I’m leaving."
"Okay."
The two walked out of the small park, and Lin Yi watched Lin Jingzhan get into the car.
After he left, Lin Yi drove to Liang Xianghe’s place but didn’t go in directly.
Instead, he parked in a inconspicuous spot.
Having his people guard here indicated that someone might come.
Lin Yi guessed it was likely related to the people of Mammon.
But why would Mammon’s people be connected to Liang Xianghe? Lin Yi thought for a long time without understanding.
After wandering around for over half an hour, he didn’t notice anything suspicious, not even any blind spots in the surroundings.
The local guards, without involving the Central Guards Brigade, could maintain the area’s security very well.
After purchasing some items, Lin Yi arrived at Liang Xianghe’s home.
Liang Xianghe was reading a newspaper. He put it down and glanced at Lin Yi.
"You’ve improved, not buying apples and pure milk anymore."
"Old man, you’re so unfair, even having Liu Hong send them back to me."
"They’re left uneaten in our home, all going to spoil, so they’re perfect for you to replenish yourself."
Liang Xianghe put down the newspaper, "How’s your recovery?"
"No big deal, just some bruises; a few days of recovery will fix it."
"Don’t push yourself too hard; so many people have died consecutively. Both Anglo and Mammon will restrain themselves. You can relax your spirits a bit and focus on the Kaijie Group."
Compared to Anglo and Mammon, the threat from the Kaijie Group isn’t significant and doesn’t require constant vigilance.
"Boss Liu has already arranged matters; Anglo and Mammon’s consecutive failures will make them cautious and unlikely to attempt an attack like last night’s again."
Liang Xianghe nodded, agreeing with Lin Yi’s assessment.
"Through this series of events, I feel our previous speculations might really be true," Lin Yi said:
"The Sheepskin Scroll records even more important things. The three major organizations might have found some clues; otherwise, they wouldn’t take such actions."
"So I’m also curious now about what’s documented that draws them to such lengths, even attempting to breach the Central Guard Brigade."
"The truly important thing is, where did they get this information?"
"You think the Natives, who have lived to this day, disclosed this information."
"That’s indeed what I think, but it sounds quite absurd," Lin Yi said:
"It’s been so many years, even the Dynasty’s historical materials can’t be completely preserved. How have they managed it?"
"Perhaps it’s not complete, but even traces are enough."
Lin Yi said:
"There’s no need to imagine unnecessary things about these people; they’re just clowns. Today, in a world structured by the great powers, their existence won’t have any impact. At any time, it’s a contest among major nations; individuals and groups are insignificant and don’t even count as dust."
Lin Yi remained silent. Liang Xianghe’s words, in some sense, served as a reminder for him and even made him feel enlightened.
In the past, he indeed was a bit stubborn, focusing all his thoughts on the Natives.
Thinking it over, they’re just a bunch of abandoned dogs.
In a rapidly changing era, where the major power framework is already established, these people are unlikely to achieve anything; the meat grinder of war will crush them mercilessly.
Whether it is Mammon or Anglo, they’re merely fanatics.
"It’s noon; I’ll cook you some lunch. Do you have any preferences?"
"Cook me a beef tomato soup; for the rest, you decide."
"Alright."
Lin Yi went to the kitchen and began working methodically.
It took about half an hour to finish preparing the meal.
The old and the young each poured themselves half a cup of white wine, eating and chatting, enjoying the time.
After lunch, Lin Yi helped Liang Xianghe to rest.
Leaving Liang Xianghe’s home, Lin Jiang got back into the car.
He pulled in Ning Che, Qiu Yuluo, and Tao Cheng for a video conference.
In the video, Ning Che seemed drowsy, as if still waking up.
Qiu Yuluo was showering; only her upper body was visible, her hair still covered in foam, while Tao Cheng watched the newcomers training in the brigade.
"Damn, what’s this? Are you trying to seduce my man?"
"I haven’t exposed anything; how is that seductive?"
"What you aren’t showing is even more excessive than what would be shown."
"Scram, scram, scram."
Qiu Yunong continued washing her hair, looking at Lin Yi and said:
"What’s the matter?"
"There’s information saying Kaijie Group’s people are at Universal Studios; let’s get moving."
Their expressions froze for a moment.
"Is the information reliable?" Tao Cheng asked.
"It’s basically reliable," Lin Yi replied:
"Team Three will blend in; Teams Two and Four keep watch outside. Get prepared and head over now."
"Okay."
After the video call, Lin Yi issued new orders in the team one group chat.
He had them guard near Liang Xianghe’s place.
Lin Yi’s instincts, along with his father’s earlier attitude, made him feel the chances of anything happening were small.
But since his father spoke like that, it’s certainly necessary to be cautious.
Once the tasks were assigned, Lin Yi drove to Universal Studios.
The scenery outside the window swept past Lin Yi’s view.
He still couldn’t figure out who it could be that posed a threat to Liang Xianghe?
